What is the ICD 10 code for lower extremity claudication?
Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities with intermittent claudication, unspecified extremity. I70.219 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I70.
Is claudication unilateral or bilateral?

The discomfort may be unilateral or bilateral and may involve the buttocks, hips, thighs, or calves, depending on the anatomic location of arterial blockages.
What is the diagnosis code for claudication?
PAD, PVD, and intermittent claudication, not otherwise specified are classified to ICD-9-CM code 443.9, which also includes peripheral angiopathy, not otherwise specified and spasm of artery.
What is bilateral claudication of lower limb?
Claudication is pain in the legs or arms that occurs while walking or using the arms. The pain is caused by too little blood flow to the legs or arms. Claudication is usually a symptom of peripheral artery disease, in which the arteries that supply blood to the limbs are narrowed.Mar 2, 2022
What is claudication in the legs?
Claudication is pain in your thigh, calf, or buttocks that happens when you walk. It can make you limp. It may be a symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD). This is when narrowed or blocked arteries reduce the blood flow to your legs.
Is PAD bilateral or unilateral?
Although symptoms are frequently unilateral, most people with claudication have bilateral disease and revascularising one leg often unmasks previously asymptomatic disease in the other leg.Jan 25, 2021

What are the different types of claudication?
There are two types of claudication: neurogenic and vascular. Neurogenic claudication occurs because of narrowing in the spinal canal (stenosis) causing pressure on the spinal nerves. Vascular claudication results from blood flow that cannot match increased demand of muscles in oxygen during walking.Nov 14, 2018
What can be done for claudication in the legs?
